Joanna Kubaszczyk's monograph addresses issues related to the translation of the graphic form and sound layer of literary texts, and thus what constitutes a kind of outer layer of works. The author addresses aspects of language in an accessible and convincing way, using extensive research material that brings closer the specifics of translating "what is on the surface" of the text, i.e. sound and spelling. The analyzed material consists of various texts by Polish and German-speaking authors translated into Polish or German, respectively.

Among Polish-speaking authors, we meet writers and poets such as: Jan Brzechwa, Witold Gombrowicz, Manuela Gretkowska, Zbigniew Herbert, Stanisław Lem, Antoni Libera, Stanisław Młodożeniec, Jan Andrzej Morsztyn, Jerzy Pilch, Jerzy Szaniawski, Wisława Szymborska, Olga Tokarczuk, Julian Tuwim, Jan Twardowski, Emil Zegadłowicz. The German-language originals come from the pen of such well-known writers as: Max Frisch, Günter Grass, Ernst Jandl, Janosch, Elfriede Jelinek, Thomas Mann, Fritz Riemann, Christoph Schönborn or Patrick Süßkind. The selected texts form the basis for exemplifying the challenges faced by literary translators.

The book is aimed at students of philological studies, young translation adepts, translation researchers, linguists and literary scholars, but also practicing translators and a wide audience interested in fine literature and translation.
